Man Found Shot To Death In Bridgeport, Police Said

BRIDGEPORT — Police said they are investigating a homicide after a man was found lying on Davis Avenue Wednesday night.

A passerby found the victim lying in the street with what appeared to be a gunshot wound, police department spokesman William Kaempffer said. The man was taken to St. Vincent's Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Detectives canvassed the area and searched for witnesses. There were no reports of gunfire, which raises the possibility that the man was shot somewhere else and left there, Kaempffer said.

The man has tentatively been identified as Ernesto Reyes-Santos, 36, of Brooklyn, New York, he said.
